Joffrey NYC Summer Intensive: End of Week 1

 Zoe has completed her first week of her 3 week Jazz/Contemporary Joffrey Summer Intensive in NYC.  All in all it's been a great week for her. 

Here's her room all set up. She has 2 roommates and the top bunk on the left is her bed. 

They've got a little stove & sink along with a dresser & a lamp. They each get one drawer in the dresser. 

The bathroom- toilet, sink & shower.  What more do you need? 

She has a meal plan where she gets 2 meals a day delivered to her housing. Here's a sample of a breakfast & dinner. She said the food is decent. 

Down in the basement is where they do laundry as well as have a TV and lounge area to hang out in. 

 

Here's Zoe's stuff all set out to go to classes in the morning. Backpack from Hawaii that Uncle Brent & Aunt Joni got her that has her personal items along with her dance shoes and accessories, her water bottle & her lunch. 

The very first evening last Monday they had an audition for the show on August 12th. One of the choreographers posted this on his Instagram. There is Zoe! 

And guess what?  He picked Zoe to be in his piece!  And he posted a video from the first rehearsal. Here's a picture from the video of Zoe with her partner Alejandro.

Just before starting Pilates class to do some core strengthening. 

 

Brendan Moran, who won Teen Mr. Dance of America 2 years ago, was in Zoe's group this past week. 

Just had to post this picture. On Friday after their last class they all went to grab an ice cream. This was Zoe's- rocky road ice cream with Carmel swirl over it. How decadent!  But no worries when you are dancing 8 hours a day. 

This past Saturday Zoe did a tour of Radio City Music Hall and then went shopping with some friends. 

Back in her room chill'in with her new M&M pajamas & slippers. 

Today, Sunday, Zoe and a few girls went exploring the city, did some more shopping and had some lunch. When Brad & I talked to her this evening she said she was doing great and had a fun and relaxing day. So happy to hear!  

She isclooking forward to her week ahead. Here's her schedule of classes which is followed by rehearsals in the evening for the show on the 12th. She was picked to be in 2 numbers for the show and is super excited for both of them. 

Well that's about all. Will post another update later in the week.  Bye for now!
